The world is just one big state-machine, there’s no reason why you can’t program it to be fairer.

Thank you, likewise. Hopping on a call would be great; I’m also at EthCC this week if you happen to be around.

Hi this is sort of insanely coincidental that I stumbled upon this, but I’m working on exactly what you and everyone in the replies is describing. I’m building an Ethereum-based image-authentication system called Prometheus, it’s based on authors uploading their ‘RAW sensor data’ derived from camera capture as proof-of-photography onto file-storage networks; a smart-contract-notary for those uploaded images that links them to JPEG hashes; and a prediction-market overlay-layer where the Schelling-point is “what are the odds this image is authentic”, which provides non-verifying users with economically-backed proof of authenticity. I really hope you read this as I’ve been waiting for somebody to realise how big this is.

Yeah absolutely, I took a lot at your project it looks very interesting. My system takes the path of decentralised storage for sensor-level photographic data that links the image to a camera model probabilistically; this is the kind of judicial-grade authentication that rarely exists on the internet, and artificial-intelligence can’t generate the data convincingly yet, so it’s never considered for detecting what’s not real, but is incredibly powerful for authenticating what is. The Ethereum-layer is used to notarise content-identifiers for this data in its file-storage network, along with a JPEG hash that links a compressed version of the image to its sensor data. The ‘Oracle Layer’ is used to provide authentication for those mobile or otherwise resource-inhibited users who need to authenticate an image; here I think our systems are similar. Interested in hearing your thoughts! If you’re interested the ‘Prometheus’ section on my website has good info. https://conalloreilly.eth.limo
